Now that the sheet metal repair is mostly done (still a little TIG welding left) I can order the carbon fiber panels I need, inner and outer front fenders, maybe door skins (opinions?) a less visions intrusive hood, etc. I do want to stay with the non RS/Split bumper nose I have, as the full bumper is staying. Need opinions there. Most of the carbon fiber will be painted, may do SS stripes in clear.
Scott can also get back into the more fun stuff... like installing my front sub frame. It truly looks amazing, like it was built for the car. The headers fit very nicely, as does the trans/bell housing. Looks like the lowest point on the car (so far) will be the lower C7 a-arm. That includes the headers, which just needed a stainless o2 bung welded inside, as the one Stainless Works put on would interfere with the sub frame. Can't wait to see the v-bands TIG'd on to the true dual exhaust with a crossover pipe. Scott also has a new Z/28 there to see how they did the exhaust over the 5th gen IRS we're using.
I had a TR6060 built with a mid mount shifter. May end up going with a tail mounted shifter, as it lines up with the factory shifter hole. I did buy a gen4 Camaro console, as I thought it would clean up the floor nicely. It's supposed to fit the mid mount better on our cars. All sorts of interest there. If not, I have a line on a Gen 5 console, that may fit the tail mounted shifter better. Still juggling that.
